Hi Ivan,<br>
<br>
sorry to say that I'm de facto illiterate when it comes to CoreBoot
or even spkmodem.<br>
<br>
What I can say, though, is that regarding transmitting hidden
information through sound, the best way-to-go IMO would be
piggybacking scattered, high-tuned and encrypted pieces of data on
otherwise unsuspected waves. The frequencies would preferably be
between what human ears can hear and what loudspeakers can transmit.
Unfortunately, this is where compression algorithms come into play.
So, any compressed file types (like ogg or mp3) may not convey
sufficient suspicious data and therefore are no reliable grounds for
checks/audits.<br>
<br>
Directly seeing magnified waves seems to be required here. I'm not
even sure if any software based tools like Audacity or any other
vulnerable-to-attacks tools are suitable for those audits. Well,
despite their huge budgets, **they** are sloppy or out-dated
sometimes. So, using software based tools may be useful or not.
Definitely better would be old-school analog oscilloscopes, and then
go further from there.<br>
<br>
Hoping I could be helpful in some way despite my <span

Sincerely!<br>
